I loved the "Eco Ergo Enjoyment" line...they should consider that marketing angle. And the positive feedback on recycled fabrics was a popular theme for manufacturers to learn from. Too bad we can't have a 3 hour dinner party on the WILLEM SMITH dining chairs to discuss all these ideas and test the comfort in person! The winning comment for 7/14 was from.... Bruce Barone! His idea around WILLEM SMITH partnering with artist craftspeople for a design contest is quite creative! Congratulations Bruce! Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts on WILLEM SMITH furniture!

I don't think most of us realize how incredibly painstaking it is to create something that's equal parts beauty and functionality - a rare bird indeed! And I have to say, the idea of a 3-hour dinner party chair goes beyond intriguing - I think I'm going to lust after this for a long time :-) It’s great to watch a video like this that’s so natural and explains the process of creation so succinctly.

I also have to agree w/ the first post that leather is not something they ought to use.

It is so nice to see designers going back to the classics and then reformatting them with comfort to make then practical and stylish for every life. Smart! I can see using this chair in any room...living room as a side chair, library, bedroom, etc. I think people today are really looking for timeless pieces that are functional and inviting like this one! Nice work Willem Smith. Looking up where to purchase next. I love the chair featured in the video.

I like the design and thought process behind it. The 20/5/1 is a great way to view a piece of furniture. Also a big fan of the springs adjusting under the thighs. Good work on the recycled parts, next year shoot for more recycled pieces. Chris @chrisfield Great looking chair. I like the design and thought process behind it.

The opportunities for further sales and marketing events is enormous. And, of course, what artist doesn't like a three-hour party!!!??? Good Job Willem Smith!

I'd rather have comfort over style any day.....after all, we sit in, jump on, lay over our furniture for years and years! This line looks very good to me! Love me a comfy dinner chair. :) I am DRAWN to simple furnishings but the real test for me is how it feels when I sit.

Brilliant. I'm happy to see another company doing their part to reduce waste and toxic pile-up. Keep up the good work! Next thing to work on, though a completely different topic - new containers for single serve yogurt. They produce soooo much waste. I love the idea of recycled fabrics. Brilliant.

I love the color choices and the button design patterns. My question would be about durablility -- I want something that can handle my 5 & 7 year olds on a daily basis, as well as being comfortable for adults.
